journals…

Some little seed is formulating in my head – I am so missing being creative and daily writing and drawing haven’t quite made it into my priorities… Stephanie Dowrick’s posts on Facebook inspire me every time and I’d like to get her book above… then I went searching at my work library today and found the second book… which has turned up some interesting bits (also had a very small but significant chat to someone lovely about books and talking about books… )  Heard the amazing Patrick Ness on RRR yesterday and started reading his The Crane Wife which is compelling so far…. I want to hear Christos Tsiolkas speak soon … and …. the movie / book ‘Broken‘ is something to look into… I was also thinking ‘collaborative journal page’ – anyone interested?

donuts…

These fresh, sweet, gooey donuts topped off a deliriously decadent Easter (Polish inspired – thanks H for telling me about the episode of Food Safari). Leaving the vodka and pierogi behind is hard… but time to get back to some ‘healthy’ eating!

Look what I found…

Oliver Jeffers – talented, entertaining….(cute)….

eco-dyed dress

Some things I’ve grown have made it into the dye bundle for this dress… yey! It is a silk / cotton blend so I wasn’t sure how it would turn out… I’m really having fun with this…. can you imagine it plain white?

Celebration…

Life is a moment to celebrate, to enjoy. Make it fun, a celebration, and then you will enter the temple. The temple is not for the long-faced, it has never been for them. Look at life–do you see sadness anywhere? Have you ever seen a tree depressed? Have you seen a bird anxiety-ridden? Have you seen an animal neurotic? No, life is not like that, not at all. Only man has gone wrong somewhere, and he has gone wrong somewhere because he thinks himself to be very wise, very clever. Your cleverness is your disease. Don’t be too wise. Always remember to stop; don’t go to the extreme. A little foolishness and a little wisdom is good, and the right combination makes you a buddha.

CV

I have decided to add a brief CV to my sidebar on this blog – I have found it useful on other people’s blogs and who knows where it might lead…
